Located on the University of Calgary campus, TFDL is the ideal study space. This modern space was opened only five years ago, making it very tech-friendly. During regular hours, there are both silent study floors and socializing floors, so you can pick what works best for you.

Open 24 hours a day during exam season, you can find yourself among a plethora of plug-ins which makes this library a haven for anyone who needs to pull an all-nighter. The only catch is that you’ll need to be a U of C student to access their WiFi, or know someone willing to lend you their information.

Its not uncommon to see students with their spread of notebooks and laptops at this cafe in Mission. Their large tables are great if you want to have a cram session with your friends, and you can get a muffin, Mac and Cheese or just about anything in between to eat – so snack options will never be a problem.

Right in the heart of Kensington, Higher Ground is great to get work done if you also like some background noise. They serve everything from lattes to beers, so pick your poison based on how rough your studying is going.

They’re open to midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, and 11 pm every other day of the week.

During the exam season, the library at MRU is also open 24 hours. For any other time, MRU has developed a page to locate study spots around campus, even categorizing them by Quiet, Cubicle and Multipurpose areas. You can look at all areas organized by building here.

It’s no surprise that most ideal late-night study spaces are coffee shops – they feel the students’s need for caffeine. Analog is located on trendy 17th Ave., which also makes it ideal for taking a study break to people watch if you sit along their large windows.

It can tend to be a bit noisy here during the day, in case you’re easily distracted. Open until midnight everyday.

Another cafe that serves alcohol, so you can reward yourself after a hard night’s work. Kawa has a great selection of craft beer, as well as a wide variety of food. The only thing really lacking here is that there isn’t a whole lot of plug-ins, so make sure you arrive fully charged!
